Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain darkening of skin complexion after child birth occurs commonly due hormonal changes/imbalances that occur during and after child birth..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a clinical examination and hormonal assy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take depigmentation treatment like applying creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Apply Vitamin E and C containing creams..
You can also apply Azelic acid creams..
Creams containing Licorice and grapeseed extract can help..
You can wash your face with Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid containing facewash..
Exfoliate your skin with a gentle face and body scrub..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
You should always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can also go for treatments like Microdermabrasion, chemical peeling, photofacial etc.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
